Starbucks - Philadelphia Premium Outlets

Philadelphia Premium Outlets
18 Lightcap Road
1039
Pottstown, PA 19464 US

My sister and I went to the outlet to return a pair of shoes that was two lefts, or two rights, either way we wanted a whole set. While there we got a chai tea and iced tea lemonade. The store was packed, but moving at a good clip. everything was pretty clean and well stocked, but the baristas were to the point, not a third place welcoming, but well done drinks with efficiency. There was outdoor seating.




Starbucks Glen Burnie Center

Glen Burnie #07330

This Starbucks is our friend Tommy's nearest Starbucks here he is known by name and drink. when staying over his house we stopped here on our way out, it's literally next to his apartment complex.

Since we've visited him a few times, we've had chai tea lattes here a few times. The store is clean, the condiment bar is always tidy and stocked, the partners are always happy and upbeat and ask you how your morning is going. They call the drinks and thank you when you pick them up. A very positive vibe here. I also like the flowers on the tables. There is outdoor seating.

The baristas were on the ball, fast, pleasant, happy, I'm not too surprised. One barista greeted me and asked my drink then marked the cup and handed it to a bar barista while someone rang on the register. They knew many of the customers names and drinks. Most customers were coming from the locked down elevator in the lobby right near the end of the "store" area.

There was a deck and plenty of other outdoor seating that I failed to get pictures of.

I got a tall soy chai latte.






Columbia Center Seattle Washington

At the suggestion of Starbucks melody I decided to visit the Columbia Center observation deck on the 73rd floor.

For $5 it was an amazing view!

I got a tall soy chai latte here on my way down from the observatory deck. The baristas were genuinely pleasant and happy and asked me how my day was. It was a short but lovely visit with a great view!

Starbucks Canton-Cobbs Corner Store Review

While I was on vacation in Massachusetts I stopped at the Starbucks Canton-Cobbs Corner, 95 Washington Street, Canton, MA 02021 US

The outside of the store was very nice.

While waiting in line the barista on register chatted with a few regulars in front of me, which made me feel at home. When he rang me out he was cheerful and happy. I got my drink rather swiftly and then was out the door as we were going shopping.

I ordered my usual grande no water soy chai latte. The drink was done perfectly.

The store was clean, and had a large assortment of chairs and tables and looked very comfortable. I loved all the large windows and natural lighting.

There was a prominent and nicely done Iced VIA display in the line area. There was a large island display of merchandise, a rack of beans, the usual pastry and cold case combo before the register, and some baskets of snacks. The cold case was a bit messy and sparse. I am not sure why the baskets of snacks were near the delivery area as it would be hard to select them after you've paid.

Sorry I didn't get pictures of the seating area, my drink, or review the bathrooms!
